Windows lacks the standard unix 'uptime' utility. Use this:
net statistics server
Make a domain-wide pop-up announcement:
net send /DOMAIN "The server is rebooting"
There is also a 'kill' command for services. (Alas, there doesn't seem to be a kill -9.)
net stop "My Service"
And services can be started the same way.
net start "My Service"
There's a command line utility called md5sum. (May need to download it.)
